I got to watch Hogan’s Heroes every day after school. Often my old man would come in and change out of his work boots and watch a few minutes of it while doing so. Then he would get up, shake his head with a smile and say “Oh those crazy guys!” as he left the room.
As a WWII vet, I’m glad he never said anything more and thus ruin the show for me.
